Description

The Esme Maxi Cardigan is a straight-cut, oversized and loose-fitting cardigan of below-the-knee length. It features dropped shoulders, in-seam pockets at front, a band on the front edges and neckline, and it fastens with five buttons. The cardigan also has cuffed sleeves, creating a rolled-up effect.

Suggested Fabrics

Select a medium-weight or heavy knit fabric with low or medium stretch (5-15%), e.g. boiled wool, bouclé knit or cable knit. The sample is made up in a heavy wool blend. If your fabric is lighter or very stretchy, consider choosing a smaller size than your regular size. Select a medium weight jersey for the pocket bags. Note that the pocket bags can show through the pocket openings, so if you wish, choose a color that matches to your main fabric color.

If your measurements
don’t fit one of these sizes you should go with either the
closest chest or hip measurement, depending on the pattern in question.
It is recommended that you choose the size with the closest chest
measurement for tops, dresses and coats, and the closest hip
measurement for pants and skirts.

Always remember to check the
following measurements:

Chest measurement: Measure
your chest across the fullest part, on top of your bra. Keep the
measuring tape horizontally straight at the sides.

Waist measurement: Measure
against your skin, around the narrowest section of your waist.

Hip measurement: Measure
your hips at the widest part, on top of your underwear. Keep the
measuring tape horizontally straight at the sides. Note that the widest
part can also be the top of your thighs.
